This Agreement is made as of August 13, 1999, by and between Autocam Corporation (the "Corporation') a Michigan corporation, and [Individual Director's Name] ("Indemnitee").


Indemnitee is a director of the Corporation. It is essential to the Corporation to attract and retain as directors the most capable persons available.

(b) "Proceeding" shall mean any threatened, pending, or

instituted by any federal or state securities regulatory agency, in
which Indemnitee is, may be, or may have been involved as a party or

officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation or by reason of any
action taken by Indemnitee, or any inaction on Indemnitee's part, while
acting as a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation or
by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was elected, appointed or
serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer,
partner, trustee, employee, agent or fiduciary of any other foreign or
domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, whether for profit or not.

merger or consolidation with another entity; (ii) any sale, exchange,
lease, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition (in a single

power aggregating more than 50% of the assets or earning power of the
Corporation on a consolidated basis; (iii) any complete liquidation or
dissolution of the Corporation; (iv) any reorganization, reverse stock
split or recapitalization of the Corporation which would result in a

same effect as any of the foregoing.

Act) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents

occurred if (i) the Corporation enters into an agreement, the
consummation of that would result in the occurrence of a Change in
Control; (ii) any person (including the Corporation) publicly announces
an intention to take or to consider taking actions that once
consummated would constitute a Change in Control; or (iii) the Board of
Directors adopts a resolution to the effect that, for purposes of this
Agreement, a Potential Change in Control has occurred.
